Prince George and Princess
Charlotte will be feeling a whirlwind of emotions on Friday as they break
up for the summer holidays from Thomas’s Battersea.
George, eight, and Charlotte,
seven, only had a half-day at their school and it will have been a particularly
emotional one given that they most likely won’t be returning to the London
establishment come September.
It is thought that the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge, along with their three children, are planning on moving to
Windsor to be closer to the Queen and Kate’s parents, who live in
Berkshire.
Although reports have not yet
officially been confirmed by Kensington Palace, royal fans could expect an
announcement on the family’s relocation very soon, given the start of the
summer holidays.
The family will have a lot
more freedom to roam in the Berkshire countryside – not to mention the fact
that the Queen’s Windsor estate has an astonishing 655 acres!
But although they have a lot
to look forward to after their move, Friday may have been tinged with
sadness for George and Charlotte, as they said goodbye to the friends they’ve
made while attending Thomas’s.

They shouldn’t struggle too
much when it comes to swapping city life for country living, however, given
that both siblings spent their respective early childhoods outside London.
George and Charlotte might not
be the only ones who find today emotional – their mother Kate has been
spotted out socializing with fellow school mums from Thomas’s before, and will surely miss the community of parents
she has been a part of.
Before George started school
in 2017, there was much speculation that he would follow in the footsteps of
his father and his uncle Prince Harry by attending Wetherby School in Notting
Hill.
However, William and Kate
opted for Thomas’s instead, and loved it so much, that they sent Princess
Charlotte there two years later!
George, Charlotte and Louis’
new school has not yet been revealed, but if their parents’ choice of
primary school is anything to go by, instilling kindness in the siblings
will be their top priority.
Thomas’s Battersea school’s
website states: “Whilst we are proud of our record of the senior school
entrance and scholarship successes, we place a greater emphasis on a set of
core values, which include kindness, courtesy, confidence, humility and
learning to be givers, not takers.”
